• Domestic violence case

1- I was married with the respondent (kaur ) on 18th of March 2012 at Punjab according to Sikh rites and ceremonies without any dowry in the presence of friends, relatives and family members of both the parties.

2- After the marriage she left to Bangalore as she is employed there.

 I have to leave for Canada.

5- I filed her immigration papers on 12th of October 2012. Next month in Nov 2012 her Parents including her elder sister,Brother in law (Jija), younger brother and [Father's younger brother's wife (aunt) (choti Chachi)], they went all the way to argue with my parents about sponsoring their whole family specially her younger brother . As per Canadian immigration norms it is not possible to sponsor anybody except wife but they don’t understand and adamant at their demand and threating us of dire consequences if their demand is not met.

6- We were still hopeful that things might settle down with the passage of time but all in vain. In the month of October 2013, she got scheduled for interview on 14th of Nov 2013 at Canadian high commission, New Delhi. She didn’t attend the interview and after repeated requests she agreed to reschedule it on 7th of Jan 2014.

7- In between we came to know from one of her relative’s that she is suffering from a incurable heart disease named Pulmonary Stenosis since birth and this is a Genetic disorder to her family. .

8- When we started enquiring and asking them about the heart disease, they stopped all communications with us and threatened us of dire consequences. For their own safeguard, in the month of Dec 2013 they filed a Vague Domestic Violence case and complain in NRI police station, Ludhiana for the purpose of harassment but police station close this case but DV is still going on 

So please tell us how we can fil fraud case against them becoz girl is suffering from disease and in DV how we tackle

1. You may file a case of fraud and cheating against your wife and her parents. All that you need to do is engage a lawyer and instruct him to file the case in the court whereupon the court may order the appearance of your wife.

2. Since your wife has allegedly filed a false DV case against you with the ulterior motive of putting you at harassment you have the right to apply for divorce.

3. As regards the DV case already filed on you, you may contest it on merits or challenge it in HC.

Criminal complaint can be filed in your home town if the offence has been committed therein.

A litigant is not allowed to go court hunting to select the court in which the case is to be filed. What is to be seen is whether the offence took place within the jurisdiction of the concerned court. Divorce case can be filed where the marriage took place and where the couple last resided together. As regard criminal intimidation it can be filed where intimidation took place. Defamation case cannot be filed in Bangalore as defamation itself did not take place in Bangalore.
